How Do You Measure A Year in Your Life?

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

  • track location on phone [longitude/latitude]
  • text messages sent / received [quantity per person per day]
  • movies watched [title per medium (dvd, theater, ipod) per day]
  • coffee drinks purchased [accessory per drink per location per day]
  • hours/time slept [time awoke, time fall asleep]
  • what you have downloaded [per medium and/or per day]
  • facebook activity [number of status updates]

What else?


Questions we need to answer...


  • How will we grade it?
  • Creativeness of data to collect?
  • Something must be collected on your phone?
  • How will we build in regular progress checks?
  • How will you record it and display it? (a wiki page)
  • What will your Final Product look like? (can be answered later...)
